Chapter 676: Oppose

There was an unusual silence in the Cathedral of Light, and in the eyes of Cardinal Abraham almost murderous, the envoys of various countries looked left and right, but no one stood up first.

"I knew these people would be unreliable!" said the thought that flashed through the minds of Leo and Princess Sophia almost at the same time. From the very beginning, they were not optimistic about this alliance of countries, and the alliance formed by a group of diplomats was simply a sandcastle by the sea, and the waves would collapse if they were a little bigger.

"You ......" Cardinal Abraham stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pointed at the envoys who had sworn to him, and all those he pointed out lowered their heads and eyes, not daring to make contact with Abraham's cannibalistic gaze.

Cardinal Abraham then realized that he was still too naïve, naively thinking that he was really winning, naively pinning all his hopes on a group of guys who were simply unreliable. The white-clad bishops, the envoys, even the dark council hiding in the shadows, are just scapegoating themselves out of their own hands, just watching their own jokes.

"Your Majesty Abraham, the situation is now obvious, do you have anything else to say?!" St. Paul's Pope shouted to Abraham in a calm tone no longer as before.

Abraham's face turned ashen, his originally straight body drooped, and he whispered with a slight slump on his shoulders, "You ...... win?"

Just as Abraham was about to admit defeat, after the priests of the major temples in the audience made eye contact with each other, the bishop of the God of War Temple, Babbitt, suddenly stood up and said loudly in the amazed eyes of everyone: "The Temple of War believes that the succession of the Pope under the crown of St. Paul is not legitimate, and the position of the Pope of Light is of great importance, and it should be judged by the Holy of Light!"

With the action of Bishop Babbitt, the priest of the Temple of the Goddess of Harvest also stood up and announced loudly: "The Temple of the Goddess of Harvest seconded!

"Ice and Snow Temple seconded!" "Lucky Temple seconded!" "Gold Temple seconded!" "Temple of Wisdom seconded!"

One by one, the priests and bishops stood up from their positions and loudly echoed the proposal of Bishop Babbitt of the Temple of War. This desperate situation gave Archbishop Abraham's heart a new hope, which was already ready to give up.

The successive voices of the major temples made the envoys in the audience seem to see the possibility of reversing the situation, and several national envoys who have a deep relationship with Cardinal Abraham gritted their teeth, and the envoys of the Horton Kingdom thought about it in their hearts, and the first one stood up and said loudly: "The Horton Kingdom seconded the proposal! Before getting the oracle of the God of Light, the succession of St. Paul is not legal!"

The Kingdom of Houghton is directly bordered by the Cult of Light, and has been oppressed by the Religion of Light for thousands of years, and if St. Paul, who is in charge of the Inquisition, succeeds to the Pope, the life of the Kingdom of Horton may be even more difficult in the future. For the sake of his country, the envoys of the Houghton Kingdom decided to take a chance, in case they really had to overthrow St. Paul, with his personal relationship with Abraham, he would definitely win more benefits for the Houghton Kingdom.

If the opposition of the temples was a declaration of war against the Church of Light, the voice of the Houghton Kingdom was like a clarion call to launch a counterattack against the Church of Light.

"The Varu Empire seconded!" Duke Rawls is best at seeing the wind and steering, and he also knows that now that the situation has been reversed, the sooner he stands up, the more he will make a good impression on Abraham.

"The Sova Kingdom seconded!" The deputy envoy of the Sova Kingdom has a grudge against the Sect of Light because of the assassination of Count Hoffmann, not to mention that he has already been infiltrated by the Dark Council, and he did not hesitate to stand up at the moment.

"The Duchy of Weiner seconded!"

"The Moraya Kingdom seconded!"

One after another, the envoys stood up one after another, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, in a neat and orderly manner. Seeing that the priests of these temples and the envoys of various countries jumped out to oppose their succession, Pope St. Paul stood on the pulpit without saying a word, just coldly looking at the surging emotions of the audience, his cold face was expressionless, but there was a mocking look in his slender eyes.

It didn't take long for only the Principality of Pritz and the Paris Empire, who were sitting in the front row, to remain in the crowd watching the ceremony. Cardinal Abraham's heart was ecstatic, and the look on his face became victorious.

"Grand Duke Pritz, Grand Duke Pritz, it's your turn!" The priest of the Temple of Gold Coins beside Leo couldn't help but whisper to Leo when he saw that Leo was still sitting upright in his seat and didn't react, and winked at him with a wink.

"Ah...... What?" Leo replied as if he had woken up from a big dream, looked left and right at the envoys and priests standing on the wall, raised his hand and scratched his hair, and pretended to be surprised, and said, "What are you doing here?

Leo's words made all the envoys present have a black line, and they feel that this Grand Duke of Pritz is simply a stunned young man! What nonsense is the truth, although the selection of the Pope of Light belongs to the internal affairs of the Church of Light, and it is said that outsiders have no right to interfere at all, but haven't you seen what the situation is now? So many countries and so many temples are unanimously opposed, even if the Pope of Light is tough, he has to consider the consequences!

Seeing that Leo really supported himself according to yesterday's agreement, a satisfied smile appeared on St. Paul's face, on this continent, except for the Holy Griffin Empire, which has the strongest military strength, the only taboo in the Sect of Light is this Grand Duke of Pritz who has repeatedly defeated the Knights of Light, and now that the envoy of the Holy Griffin Empire has not appeared, and the Grand Duke of Pritz is on his side, what else is there to worry about?

Don't look at the opposition of so many envoys of the countries present, but St. Paul didn't take them seriously at all. What can they do if they oppose it? It's just a few verbal and painless protests, do they really dare to start a war with the Church of Light? Those temples are already in competition with the Church of Light, and they have been fighting openly and secretly with each other for the resources of believers for many years, even if the Church of Light retreats, they will not give up, and they will even gain an inch, so Pope St. Paul has no intention of compromising with them at all.
